Chapter 615 The trap of the board
As Zheng Yue and Xu Le have been interacting more and more frequently recently, their relationship has become much closer than at the beginning, and they are even more ambiguous when they are alone together.
Not to mention that Xu Le almost acquiesced in teasing in an ambiguous way in front of other people. Facing the booing of everyone, he didn't rush to deny it, but looked at her first.
Everyone has been playing together for a long time, and they are already familiar with what kind of person each other is. Seeing Xu Le like this, many people are secretly gossiping, saying that Xu Le probably fell for Zheng Yue this time.
Zheng Yue also followed Xu Le, and her living standard rose a lot.
"Finish?" Xu Le looked up at her and asked softly.
The two are sitting in a high-end restaurant now, Zheng Yue looked at the mouth-watering desserts in front of her, and finally reluctantly gave up, nodded and said that she had finished eating.
Only by setting a long line can you catch big fish. She understands this truth better than anyone else.
Zheng Yue took the initiative to speak, "It's not good to always ask you to invite me, this time I will pay the bill."
She didn't forget the celebrity persona she fabricated in front of Xu Le, so she took out a bank card directly from her bag.
"How can I do that?" Xu Le shook his head.
Asking a woman to invite him to dinner, Xu Le subconsciously wanted to veto it.
He was educated to be a gentleman since he was a child, so naturally he couldn't do such a thing.
Zheng Yue insisted, "Then next time you invite me to eat again?"
"...Okay." Xu Le reluctantly agreed.
Seeing this, Zheng Yue also called the waiter and paid with her own card.
Seeing Zheng Yue's straightforwardness, Xu Le felt a lot more fond of Zheng Yue, and felt that she was not the person his friends said she was.
Not long after getting to know Zheng Yue, Xu Le planned to bring him into his circle, and also had a faint liking for him in his heart.
But after looking at Zheng Yue, Xu Le was once pulled over by one of the young ladies who often hang out, and had a private chat with her.
"Look at you, don't you have a good impression of him?" The eldest lady looked at Xu Le hesitantly.
Xu Le took the responsibility generously, "There is a little bit, what's the matter?"
"Isn't it? People like Zheng Yue always feel like they don't answer when I look at them. You should be careful and don't fall into it." The eldest lady told him.
By relying on the intuition of women, although Zheng Yue is dignified and generous, and can't find any mistakes in various etiquettes, the young miss just feels something is wrong.
Xu Le frowned, "We must pay attention to evidence when doing things."
"Since I've known her, I think she's pretty nice, don't always speculate about her with malice." He was at a loss for a moment, but he still said something nice for Zheng Yue.
Seeing Xu Le like this, the eldest lady just rolled her eyes and stopped talking to him.
After talking about it, I was also angry.
Now looking at Zheng Yue who still wants to invite him to dinner, Xu Le feels that what he said at the time was right, Zheng Yue is a pretty good girl.
"Shall I take you home?" After eating and paying the bill, Xu Le took the initiative to ask.
Zheng Yue naturally had no reason to refuse, she reported the address of a high-end apartment, and then got into Xu Le's car.
Different from the sports car that came to pick him up from get off work that day, Xu Le changed to a silver sports car with smooth lines today, the kind that makes people unable to look away after just one glance.
Zheng Yue was sitting in the co-pilot, watching the people on the side of the road cast envious eyes on her, and felt that she wanted to catch Xu Le, a big fish, hard.
At the moment when the lights are rising slightly, the whole city seems to be immersed in the carnival of lights, and the towering buildings are also dazzling, becoming a bright color in the night scene.
Huo Yichen was thinking that it was time for Murong Qiao to get off work, and planned to drive to pick him up, but just as the idea came to his mind, he was interrupted by a sudden phone call.
"Your Excellency." The caller was Ye Zhen.
He spoke hastily. "Something might require your time..."
"Tell me." Huo Yichen frowned.
Usually it’s nothing serious, and Ye Zhen wouldn’t call himself in such a haste.
Ye Zhen spoke with a bitter face. "It's because the board of directors said that there is a cooperation, and some accidents happened temporarily, and our people at the hotel haven't passed yet..."
Rounding off, it is necessary for Huo Yichen to come and discuss cooperation in the past.
"I see." Huo Yichen turned the steering wheel in a circle, turned the car around and left.
The Huo family has never had such a big mistake. When hearing Ye Zhen's description of the situation, Huo Yichen had a faint doubt in his heart, but the matter was urgent, so he didn't care so much.
When Huo Yichen went to the hotel, he opened the door according to the address, and what he saw was not the partner waiting for him, but the smiles on the faces of the two parties after the negotiation had been concluded.
"I will entrust this cooperation to you guys." After shaking hands, the two parties ended up getting up, but when they turned their heads, they saw Huo Yichen standing at the door with an apologetic smile on his face again.
The partner spread his hands, "I'm sorry, Mr. Huo, I see that your people haven't come for a long time, so I had to make other choices."
"After all, time is money, presumably Mr. Huo should be able to understand this, right?" The person on the other side also spoke at this time.
Huo Yichen remembered that this person was a company that had always been hostile to Huo's, and there was a tendency to compare their performance recently. He didn't expect that this time, the other party would preempt his cooperation.
Even in the face of being robbed for cooperation, Huo Yichen stood at the door without showing any weakness, and met the provocative gaze of the man, keeping his face calm.
"Some people are not strong enough on their own, so they have to rely on external forces. This is also impossible."
Having nothing to say to the enemy, Huo Yichen didn't stay here to feel disgusted when he saw this, and left directly.
Right after Huo Yichen walked out of the hotel, Ye Zhen called.
"Master President, I'm already on my way, your side—"
Huo Yichen said directly, "No more."
"I'm still in a bit of a traffic jam here, you—ah?" Ye Zhen was halfway through speaking, before realizing the meaning of Huo Yichen's words.
"I said, don't come. I'm going back to the company." Huo Yichen hung up the phone immediately after finishing speaking.
Naturally, the cooperation was not negotiated. Huo Yichen went back to the company directly. The vague premonition in his heart became true after he was reprimanded by the board of directors after returning.
"Obviously there is time to go there in time, and we have also negotiated with the other party, how could it fail?" Xu Dong directly took the lead.
Zheng Qiguang also nodded in agreement. "The other party has always been inclined to cooperate with Huo's before, and there is no problem in our communication."
With Xu Dong and Zheng Qiguang's openings, the rest of the words came out one after another.
"It's not that I want to question your ability, but the reason for the failure of this cooperation—"
"We have always decided to cooperate with the other party before. If we fail this time and switch to other suppliers, what should we do if there are problems and losses?"
Except for a very few people and Huo Yichen, the board of directors is all old foxes, and they will come to people with psychological pressure.
Huo Yichen sat in the middle of one end of the table, staring down at the table, his expression cold and unable to see what he was thinking.
Ye Zhen, on the other hand, heard the members of the board of directors "punishing" Huo Yichen as soon as he came in. His heart skipped a beat and he realized that it was a trap.
